sometimes when you get through the rough exterior, bobby has semi-decent ideas. sometimes. make that rarely. yes rarely fits well.

Hahaha its no to the resort. its on the resort, and its so you can lap the park forever without having to take a chair and get cold.

did they really ditch all the old boxes/rails and get all new ones? my friend said he saw a heli taking a bunch of lights up to the top too for more night skiing.

That would be so awesome, if the rope tow was fast. But bubble quads are the best

Yah. Last year the lift before that (went from bottom lodge to middle, longest lift) was cold as hell on the windy/cold days. Without the bubble lift I would have died

are these new lights? and what part of the hill is this in relation to the tram? and where is the park in relation to that?
 
 
 and on the website its says that they got 18 inches of new snow at the base, that sextuples the amount they had before the storm. 
 
 and bobby, sextuple means to multiply or be multiplyed by six., and to help you out further...


_ _ _   = 3 (old snow)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _    = 18(new snow)
 
18/3=sextuple
